Nicholson's Obelisk or 'Nicholson's Memorial', is a monument in Pakistan, erected in 1868 in honor of Brigadier-General John Nicholson, a famous military figure of the British Empire.
It is situated at the Tarnol pass ( Margalla Pass) of the Margalla Hills close to the twin cities of Rawalpindi-Islamabad en route to the historical town of Taxila.
The granite obelisk, approximately 40 feet (12 m) tall, stands on a rocky prominence overlooking the Grand Trunk Road connecting Islamabad with Peshawar. There is also a small memorial fountain at the base of the hillock on which the Memorial/Obelisk stands.
Nicholson was born on 11 December 1822 in Lisburn, Ireland, the eldest son of Dr Alexander Jaffray Nicholson and Clara Hogg. He studied at The Royal School Dungannon, a public mixed school, located in Dungannon, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland.
Nicholson joined the army of the British East India Company in 1839. Soon after arriving in India, he fought his first combat action in the First Anglo-Afghan War (1839-42). After the Anglo-Afghan War, he was appointed Political Officer in Kashmir and then District Commissioner in the Sanghar area of Sindh.
He fought bravely during the First Anglo-Sikh War (1845-46), during which he was wounded in an attack on the Margalla Pass, where the Obelisk in his memory now stands. He distinguished himself again in the Second Anglo-Sikh War (1848-49).
John Nicholson became the Victorian "Hero of Delhi" and inspired several books, ballads and generations of young boys to join the army.
He is referenced in numerous literary works, including Rudyard Kipling's Kim. Nicholson features in a number of novels about this period in history. He is mentioned by George MacDonald Fraser in his book Flashman in the Great Game. He also appears as one of the main characters in James Leasor's novel about the Indian Mutiny, Follow the Drum, describing his death in some detail. He is also featured in James Leasor's history of the siege, 'The Red Fort'. A famous biography was also written about him by Lionel J Trotter (1897) and he comes in for conspicuous mention in the book Soldier-Sahibs:The Men who made the North-West Frontier (2001) by British author Charles Allen.
Nicholson also served as Deputy Commissioner of Bannu (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan) from 1852-1854. For his bravery and services towards British government, a tablet in a church at Bannu carries the following caption: “Gifted in mind and body, he was as brilliant in government as in arms. The snows of Ghazni attest his youthful fortitude; the songs of the Punjab his manly deeds; the peace of this frontier his strong rule. The enemies of his country know how terrible he was in battle, and we his friends have to recall how gentle, generous, and true he was.”

اللہ پاک آپ کو اپنے حفظ و امان میں رکھےاپ جب تاریخ سناتے ھو تو آپکا لہجہ اور تلفظ سے بہت مزہ آرہا ہے شائد اپ ریٹائر لیکچرار لگتے ھو
وعلیکم السلام جناب ۔۔۔ میرے وی لاگ پسند کرنے کا بہت شکریہ
میں کوئی پروفیسر نہیں ۔۔۔ تاریخ کا ایک ادنیٰ سا طالب علم ہوں ۔۔۔ دعدا کیجیے گا میرے لیے
Nice person.

میں نے یہ پتھروں والی روڈ اج سے تقریبا چالیس سال پہلے پہلی دفعہ دیکھی تھی پھر میں نے اپنے بچوں کو بھی دیکھای تھی اپ نے باکل صیح کہا کہ لوگوں کو اس کا ادراک ہی نہیں لوگ صرف اتے جاتے گزر جاتے ہیں مگر اس کے بارے میں نہیں جانتے۔اپ نے بہت اچھی کاوش کی ھے زبردست۔
شکریہ جناب، ہمیں اپنے بچوں کو اپنی تاریخ بتانی چاہیے، یہ سوچے بغیر کہ اس کا تعلق کس عہد سے ہے کیونکہ میرا ماننا ہے کہ تاریخ صرف تاریخ ہوتی ہے اور تاریخ کا کوئی مذہب نہیں ہوتا
لاہور سے قریب ترین یہ سڑک کہاں ہے ؟
Incredible knowledge,as my father was in the Pak army and thats how I came to know this monument by traveling a lot between Kohat and Lahore, I always had noticed this structure but never thought of it , so for the first time I watched your video, recalled it and I really liked it, thank you for that interisting information, bro .
It's pleasure. Thank you very much. Stay blessed.
When people are bored, they go out for a walk, some people go to watch movies and some go to eat and drink. But when I am bored, I watch your vlogs. Believe me, no matter how many times I watch your vlogs, it is always the same It feels like watching it for the first time and never gets bored, this is your uniqueness
I have no words to thank you. All I can say is that "it is your love". Stay blessed.

شاہ جی راجپوت صاحب بالکل درست فرما رہے ہیں ۔ تاریخ پہ وڈیوز بنانا کوئی آسان کام نہیں اسکے لئے بہت سی محنت کرنا پڑتی ہے اور بہت سارا مطالعہ کرنا پڑتا ہے ۔ اور یہ فریضہ شاہ جی بہت اچھے طریقہ اے سرانجام دے رہے ہیں ۔ شاہ جہ وڈیوز تو آجکل اور طرح کی بھی بہت بن رہی ہیں ۔اور جسم کی نمائش کرکے بہت سارا پیسہ بھی کمایا جارہا ہے ۔ شاہ جی سلامت رہو
جزاک اللہ سرکار۔ دعاوں میں یاد رکھیے گا کہ اللہ مزید ہمت اور استقامت عنایت فرمائے
السلام علیکم گیلانی صاحب کیا حال چال ہیں ٹھیک ٹھاک اللہ تعالی آپ کواور آپ کی پوری فیملی کو سلامت رکھے اور ڈھیروں خوشیاں عطا کرے آپ بہت اچھے ہیں اور آپ کے لیے دل سے دعائیں نکلتی ہیں دعاگو عبدالحق

Poori Koshish ho gi sarkar
Very informative Vlog. Mr Gilani, you are a student of History as you told. I think you should try to contact relevant departments like Aasare Qadeema. Heritages of Pakistan. and Tourism Development Corporation of Pakistan etc to renovate this tower and similar other historic. points. The history should be displayed at these monuments covering all things which you described in your Vlog. United Nation can also help in this regard. Please carry on your mission as history as a subject is not being taught in schools nowadays. That's why many even most of the politicians of Pakistan are not aware of the History of Pakistan and Kashmir. How they can present the Kashmir issue in an international forum? So it is a great job you are doing. Welldone.
You are Mr Shafiq, our history should be displayed at every monument and place but unfortunately our government and its departments are not interested to do this. Some days ago, we went to Bhamala stupa in Haripur district of KPK and we were barred to shoot it by chowkidar of the stupa. I called to some responsible officers of KPK archeological department for permission of videography, they demanded 30,000/= for permission of videography. When I told them that we we are working for promotion of our history, they replied that we are not interested to do so via youtube because our government is doing well.
In this scenario, are you interested in your above suggestion?
We are working well as we can but have no expectations from government departments.
Thanks for watching, commenting and showing your great interest in my videos.
History main interest rakhne walo ki koi sarhaden nahin hoti main peshe se ek doctor hun , lekin history main bahut interest hai aur history mera passion hai. .Gilani sahab badi zindadili se apne blog banate hain . Thank you .
Bilkul durust kaha. Main khud media person hon lekin history mera bhi passion hai, aap ki tarah. Vlogs dekhnay aur pasand karnay ka bohat shukriya. Khush rahen, salamat rahen.
ماشاءاللہ بہت ہی اچھے انداز سے تا ریخ بتائی ہے بہت شکریہ ،الللہ جزا دے،آپ کو صحت ،وہمت عطا فرمائے ۔آپ نے ہمیں عمدہ معلومات فراہم کی ہیں ۔مجھے اس جی ٹی روڈ کے با رے میں تجسّس ابھرتا تھا۔ میر ا گاؤں اس ٹی روڈ پر واقع ہے جو وزیر آباد سے پہلے واقع ہے بہت شکریہ ۔
وی لاگ پسند کرنے اور تبصرے کا بہت شکریہ۔ خوش رہیں، سلامت رہیں۔

Very interesting because Taxila my city.
Glad to hear this
Amir Sultan. I am from Chakwal and traveling on GT Road since 1968 during my study at Abbotabad and Peshawar University. I have seen Nicolson Tower and also some items such as wash basin installed on opposite side of tower which have been removed due to expansion of the road and are placed on North Western side of mountain. Mr. Gilani you have well explained the history of Nicolson Tower and area which really benifitted. I highly appreciate your efforts. God bless you.
Thanks.keep it up
شاہ صاحب بہت مفید معلومات فراہم کر رہے ہیں ❤
بہت شکریہ آپ کا سرکار۔
Gilani Sb great job.

So nice of you Dear
I came to your vlogs accidentally & I watch them every now & then. I come home & turn on your vlogs on TV & start making tea or other things almost every evening & your voice is in background. Very simple & easy way to spread the pearls of knowledge you have. & for this particular vlog of monument, I have watched it twice. It takes me back to childhood. My dad was in army & we used to travel a lot between Pindi & Islamabad on GT road & he used to show me this monument as a sign that we are now near our home. I wish I could return back to Pakistan & see all these places. It's a shame that being from Peshawar I have never visited Sethi house, but u showed me. I m first Pakistani female with proper chronic pain training & degree doctor who can even put spinal cord stimulator implants & I came back to Pakistan but society is not ready to accept successful single woman. This profile name is not real, but I m real. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us & letting us see our country which we wish to see some day.
What you have said and written for me is a matter of pride and honor for me, but I am a very humble and simple person who needs prayers all the time. My desire is to share what Allah has given me to my colleagues and that's why I do Vlogs. Of course, you are a resident of Peshawar, but there is no shame in that you have not seen Sethi House. Let me be happy that I became a source of reminiscing your childhood memories.
Thank you for watching my vlogs and that too while doing your homework. I cannot express my happiness.
It is also great to hear that you are unique in your profession. May Allah give you more progress. I think you have come to my comment section like an angel. Very humble request to contact me on whatsApp. One of my loved ones needs the help of a doctor for the same disease in which you are a specialist. If you think suitable then share your number with me so that I can refer this patient.
Here is my WhatsApp: +92 321 875 5750
May Allah grant you more joy, happiness and prosperity in your life. Will wait for your answer. Stay blessed.

Gilani sahib, you have well briefed about monument situated near by wha and Texla .you have given a comprehensive lecture about Brig General John Mickelson. Furthermore you also briefed about character of Sardar Hayat family of wha. Gilani sahib, in my view this is on of best V .log . I do appreciate you for sharing wonderful information.
And I'm really grateful that you watched, liked and commented it. I need your appreciation and prayers in future also.
very nice, very informative and eye opnining
Thank you very much
Amazing infarmasan sr
Shukria
Wonderful. I am delighted that someone has given attention to this monument. I was much fascinated to see the tower, and more than 33 years back, when my father was taking me to Attock fort, I expressed my curiosity about this monument. Glad to see your vlog, that reminds me of the history, that is long known to me, and my late father too, who quenched my thirst for history and such relics and monuments. It would be unjust, if I do not mention, that what you have told here, is much much comprehensive, and have added much to my knowledge about this monument. You are a valuable human asset as a historian.
I am really grateful to you for your appreciation, best wishes and acknowledgement. Stay blessed dear.
